North PointMaxdepth: 20 metres Experience: Advanced These limestone reefs are riddled with caves and ledges. Many fish find shelter in them, particularly breaksea cod, WA jewfish and queen snapper. In darker holes a stingray, wobbegong or port Jackson shark may hide in the shadows. The interior of these caves are coated with the colours of an abstract painting. Red sponges, blue ascidians, orange tubastrea corals, yellow gorgonians and pink soft corals compete for each square centimetre of space. Often scarlet red harlequin fish with iridescent blue and yellow spots lie camouflaged among these sponge and coral beds. Author : John Smith |
